ABA THERAPY
ABA Therapy is a more intensive therapy that is provided through one-on-one individual therapy sessions and meetings with caregivers. Treatment depends on the specific needs of the individual, and each treatment program is tailored to what will be most effective for the individual.
A minimum of 9 hours of therapy is required per week to maximize outcomes but up to 40 hours per week has been found to be most effective for some individuals.
ABA Therapy can be effective for people with a variety of diagnosis. In 2014, Utah law mandated that insurance companies cover ABA Therapy as a treatment for people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. If you need help getting a Autism Spectrum Diagnosis, refer to this Autism Evaluation Provider List
